Thousands of residents in Tamil Nadu have been moved from the area after experiencing the heaviest rains in more than a century, with those in the city of Chennai trying to escape the flooding.
More than 3 million people have been cut off from basic services. The floods have also hampered rescue efforts by the army, which has picked up 18,000 people from rooftops and outlying villages.
If you are affected by the flooding in south India, we’d like to hear from you. We’re interested in photographs of areas both before and after they have been affected by any severe weather. We’ll include a selection of photographs and videos on the site.
You can also download the Guardian app and search for ‘GuardianWitness assignments’ – and if you add it to the homepage – you can keep up with all our assignments.

Though we’d like to hear from you, your safety and security is most important. When responding to this assignment, please make sure you put your safety and the safety of others first. Extreme weather events can be very unpredictable and carry very real risks.
